Product Overview

Leica Vario-Elmar-TL 18-56mm F3.5-5.6 is a standard zoom lens for Leica L-mount. It covers the APS-C image circle. Introduced by Leica in 2014, it has 10 elements in 7 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Leica Vario-Elmar-TL 18-56mm F3.5-5.6 is externally-zooming.
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Leica Vario-Elmar-TL 18-56mm F3.5-5.6 is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough".
